The endeavour is to show how these art forms not only impart unique qualities to a student’s personality, but also help develop a sense of pride in one’s own heritage besides an appreciation for that which is different.
The main Founders’ Day programme will begin in the evening with Speeches and Prize Distribution. Rani Rampal, Captain of the Indian Women’s Hockey Team, will be the Chief Guest. Illustrating its commitment to inclusivity, the Main Founders’ Day production is a film ‘Nun on the Run’, produced by Welham Girls’ School.
